I wonder if people in the future will find old restroom stall doors with dicks carved in them and string together some complicated theory about the importance and meaning of them to our culture.

Are you suggesting someone spent time carving this statue on a whim?

I agree fundamentally with you, but are you suggesting that people are pulling sharpies out of their pockets in toilet stalls, to draw those dicks, on a whim?

No, but if the Statue is all we have to go on then it's purely guess work just like identifying dicks on the restroom wall would be 10,000 years from now.

“Clearly these numbers have a ritual purpose”

In other news, archeologists discover prehistoric proof that humans haven't so much evolved as a species as changed costumes and neighborhoods.

Looks around

Yeah. That tracks.

It's an advertising statue for an early version of "Ow! My balls!"
